Who's Running, Who Is Not?

We must ask every player to put their voice to their face in this serious business of our nation's "Governance from 2007". No more masquerading, please.

Save for a properly-constituted and official Campaign Office, no one else should speak for any of the candidates/contestants. Enough of all the speculations, insinuations and innuendoes, please. If anyone wants to contest, let them speak for themselves!

This August must be for qualitative and august players - important thinkers who want to serve and, thus, seek office to actualise their dream. Let them come out boldly and assuredly. Let them be the ones asking for help. We 've had enough of those hungry canvassers and fortune flies, buzzing around money-bags and dis-interested politicians. It is not their business at all. Why mourn more than the bereaved...or be more catholic than the pope!!

I have no problem with strategic recruitment and even the so-called drafting of good materials for elective and appointive office. But it should be decent and pragmatic. It should not be for a show or for privilege. All the media circus hitherto should end. Who is interested should run and who be not self-motivating need no begging!

Politics, as the business of invading our national vaults, is over. If the jokers and rent-seekers know not, let the targetted souls tell them. Besides, we've had enough of "reluctant leaders"!!

From now on, people, we need only the measured and meaningful voices of ACTUAL PLAYERS. The political parties need to ensure and enforce compliance with political best practices. We do need order and urgent sanity in the arena. Drive the polluters and all their odium out of town! NOW.

As I have always believed, the MEDIA should help us by screening out the noise-makers and charlatans. From this Month of August, enough is finally enough.
